No Champions League for Cavani
In an interview with Movistar programme, his father stated that Edinson Cavani had got a table at his house where he has his barbecues. On that table, he has written 'Paris-Saint Germain, European Champions 2019.’ Luis Cavani said that he nearly laughed his head off reading that and he also wrote 'Ha ha ha' underneath it, intending to mock his son Edinson Cavani of not winning the Champions League in 2019 with PSG.

Cavani’s father stated that he doesn’t think that the PSG footballer read his reply and but he is sure that Cavani is going to rub that off soon.
